Mackenzie Dern returns at LFA 6 | San Antonio, TX (Friday, March 10th)

when you spend a lot of time talking to people with shitty english, your own english will deteriorate. and i don't mean to the point where you can't speak properly anymore, but it will take some effort.

i'm not in an english speaking country, had a brazillian coach here who couldn't understand shit if you didn't speak in broken english, i can guarantee you this can actually happen. my whole team used to joke around that he broke our english, because we all started talking like idiots. i imagine it's 10 times worse if you have to talk to everyone like that. and if i'm not mistaking, english is actually not her first language? i think she said that somewhere.

i understand it annoys you native speakers, and she probably should make an effort and speak normally, but i also understand how she can get a bit lazy and let it go way too far.
 
i thought she did pretty well, would've liked to have seen a finish against her trash heap opponent but that's okay. her striking looked much better.

the judge who scored it 29-28 should never judge again.

when she can make weight

In her defense, there are realistically only two weight classes for a WMMA fighter, 115 and 135, especially for a marketable prospect like Dern. So, it's not as simple as you make it seem.

You pick a class, and beef up, or lose weight gradually to make the other one a permanent home.

It's extremely simple. She showed up 7 lbs over and soft. If she had visible abs and sunken cheeks, you'd have a point, but she simply wasn't disciplined with her diet. And it wasn't her first time.

Exactly...until she gets her shit together you can't consider her anything

There is no defense, in the state she showed up a the weights in, it wasn't a matter of cutting weight, it was a matter of stop eating mcdonalds. She's having problems with her diet, she's getting fatter and fatter every fight, and it's not just a matter of making weight, her looks is. A big part of her marketing, she loses that and there goes a big motivation for the ufc to sign her, not to mention she's isn't exactly runnig through her crappy competitor either....which she should...

i wouldn't exactly call her fat. i mean come on, who wouldn't plow that?

but she stepped on the scale doughy as fuck, if she was struggling to make weight, she wasn't showing it. i don't understand how you can train like a pro fighter, but can't mind your diet. it's not that difficult to eat clean food, of all the sacrifices to make when training for a fight, that has to be the easiest one.

She's a 125 pounder who can't fight in that class because the UFC doesn't offer it. Obviously she needs to make the weight she agreed to, but this creates a difficult and potentially dangerous issue for her as it has for countless female figters before her. http://mmajunkie.com/2015/10/after-...-hospitalized-warns-of-weight-cutting-dangers

did you see her in any type of danger of making 115? dude she had at least 5 kilos extra fat, it was not a matter of cutting weight, it was a matter of stop eating like is christmas...
 
As far as I'm concerned Mackenzie is smokin'!!! But she did look thick for the weigh-ins. She is just not disciplined with her diet. If she looked hard then I'd understand her having difficulty losing those last few lbs but, she was squishy.
